HOUSTON — Hey, animal lovers! If you're looking for a four-legged furbaby to be a part of your family, then we have some good news for you.
A mega pet adoption event is happening at the George R. Brown Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday, and there will be more than 1,500 dogs and cats looking for their fur-ever homes.
Adoptable pets include big and small dogs, puppies and kittens -- both adults and seniors.
“The energy and excitement at these Mega Adoption events are incredible, because, by the end of the day, the lives of so many pets and people are about to change and all for the better,” said Petco Love president, Susanne Kogut. “Shelter workers and volunteers work tirelessly to save these pets – and the feeling they get when the pets find loving homes fuels their passion to continue their lifesaving mission.”
Adoption fees are $35 for any pet, which includes spaying/neutering, current vaccinations and microchipping.
If you plan on adopting a dog, you should bring a leash and collar, though some will be available for purchase.
If you plan on adopting a cat, you should bring a carrier. Cardboard carries will be available for purchase.
A limited number of fast passes are available for purchase for adopters who want early access to the event.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days.
